Chapter 324 My Escape Plan
Cake Island Capital.
Perospero, the eldest son of Big Mom, the Minister of Sweets, was walking down the street with a petite, cute-looking blonde woman wearing a white hat.
"No matter how many times you come here, it always looks sweet and delicious." The woman looked around and asked, "Am I the first to arrive this time?"
"Giggle..." Perospero laughed strangely: "There are still two days left for the tea party. Those people are very busy, and they usually come on the last day."
"Are you saying that I am very free? Perospero." Stussy smiled and said, "I am also very busy. But of course, no matter how busy I am, I will definitely attend Lingling's tea party."
"Mom will be happy when she knows you are coming." Perospero said: "She is taking a nap now. I will take you to your residence first. Mom should wake up and meet you in the afternoon."
"Yes, don't disturb Lingling." Stussy chuckled and said: "By the way, Holo Ji Xing, who is going to marry Lingling's daughter this time, is he from which pirate group or family? How come I never Never heard of this name?”
"Grrrrrr... Perospero..." Perospero's tongue slid: "Nowhere. He used to be just an island guard on an unknown island, but he had great potential, and we accidentally discovered him."
Very potential? Does even the Big Mom Pirates think he has potential?
Stussy, whose real identity is CP0, slightly narrowed his eyes. Will the Big Mom Pirates add another powerful combatant? This is not good news.
Just as he was about to ask more, Perospero suddenly laughed again: "Giggle... As soon as I mentioned him, he appeared. The person walking with Mukuru in front was Holo Ji Xing."
Stusi was startled and looked up. She had read Mukulu's wanted notice several times before setting off, so she recognized it at a glance. The young man walking next to Mukulu... looked ordinary?
He just looks ordinary, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. Compared with the children of Big Mom, he seems a bit unrecognizable.
Ji Xing, who was on the opposite side, also noticed the two of them, stretched out his hand to say hello, and said: "Brother Perospero, who is this?" Mukuru also greeted them.
"Queen of Happy Street, our VIP friend from Cake Island, Stussy." Perospero introduced: "Ji Xing, Mukulu, where have you two been?"
"Oh, hello Queen Stussi..."
"Don't call her that." Stussy tapped her red lips with her finger: "Here in the world, there is only one queen, Lingling. Just call me Stussy."
Ji Xing was startled and nodded apologetically: "I was negligent. Brother Perospero, Mukuru and I just went to practice swordsmanship outside the town."
"Sparring swordsmanship?" Perospero's tongue slid: "The day after tomorrow is the wedding, you two are really... Perospero..."
"Hahaha." Ji Xing said with a smile: "Just a casual discussion. Now we have to go to dinner. Brother Perospero, would you like some dessert before the meal?"
Perospero shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand, and a huge candy man condensed out. After a pause, he made another one for Miukulu.
The two thanked each other and left. Perospero extended his hand to Stussy as a gesture of invitation. Stusy smiled and said: "This Holo Ji Xing seems to have a good relationship with you. Compared with sister Mukuru, Look, he seems to know you better."
Perospero smiled strangely: "He just wants to get all kinds of candies from me..."
Get candy? Stussy looked back.
The two people eating candy walked farther and farther, and they seemed to meet an acquaintance on the road. She saw Ji Xing and raised his hand to say hello enthusiastically.
‘This person...should have arrived not long ago, right? How could he feel at home in all nations so quickly? ’ She had a vague feeling of strangeness.
How does this look like the operation of a CP0 spy?
And in front, Mukulu also had a different feeling in her heart.
She felt that she had overlooked something, because there were too many similar stories on the sea. She, Katakuri and others all agreed that Ji Xing, who was quietly accumulating strength on that island, wanted to go out to sea one day and become famous. Pirates.
This is the new world after all.
It’s the age of great pirates again.
So joining the Big Mom Pirates just helped him take a shortcut.
But the momentum that broke out in that moment made her think of another possibility. Could this person... have never wanted to be a pirate? Could he have a deep-seated hatred for the pirates?
He is an island guard. Have any relatives or friends been killed by pirates?
Looking at Ji Xing who was greeting the brothers and sisters she met by chance, she was silent all the way.
Just when the two were about to separate, she suddenly asked softly: "Do you want to leave here? Do you want... let me help you?"
"...Huh?" Ji Xing almost choked on the candy: "What...are you talking about?"
Mukuro looked a little regretful: "We only need to disguise ourselves in front of mother, but you need to disguise in front of all of us, will it be very tiring? If you really hate pirates and want to leave here, I can help There is no need for you to force yourself to marry me."
Ji Xing stared at her silently.
Is there something wrong? Things... have developed in a direction I never imagined.
He sighed quietly.
Laughed.
…
"What?! You've been ready..."
Ten minutes later, at Ji Xing's residence, Mukulu exclaimed and carefully covered her mouth.
"You've been ready to leave?" She lowered her voice and said hurriedly, "Why are you leaving? Are you going to die? This is Cake Island!"
Big Mom's base camp, even if another pirate king came to attack, it would be extremely difficult to take someone away from here, so she only thought that Ji Xing had rejection before, but she never expected that Ji Xing had already prepared.
Ji Xing shook his head, and under her gaze, his body bones suddenly made a slight crackling sound, and his figure and body shape suddenly shrank a little, turning into a height of about 1.8 meters like Miukulu, and much thinner.
"This is..." Miukulu stared.
"A small skill of shrinking bones, you can use it when you fully master your body." Ji Xing said: "It can also grow hair, so I won't show you. As long as you don't transform in front of me, your observation color can't be seen."
He touched under the pillow again, and took out two pieces of flesh-colored cloth, scratched and pasted them on his face, and the whole person's appearance changed into another person.
"You you you..." Miukulu was incoherent.
"It's possible that this could be detected by close observation Haki, but I won't give Katakuri this chance. Most people will be at the venue early in the morning on the wedding day. I want to disappear quietly. It's still possible to hijack a ship from a dark force at the port." Ji Xing said.
"...No, even if you have this amazing ability, you are still thinking too simply. Even if you ignore the guards at the port on the ship, the ship you hijacked will not sail too far and will be intercepted."
"I will not be on the ship by then." Ji Xing said: "The ship is a detour. My real goal is Cocoa Island, the island built of chocolate. I know I can't walk on the sea, but I can walk in the air, so I won't demonstrate it.
By then, the camera-recorded Den Den Mushi in the entire sea area will not be able to capture my movement trajectory. Most people will only be surprised that I suddenly disappeared from the hijacked ship in my current appearance.
As for Holo Ji Xing who disappeared at the same time, there is even less trace.
I will change my face again and stay on Cocoa Island for a while. As long as I control my food intake a little, it will be difficult for anyone to think that I was not hijacked, but living on Cocoa Island. As for the future, I will find another opportunity and act according to circumstances."
Mukulu was stunned for a while.
Although many of the details sound difficult to proceed smoothly, looking at the unprecedented means displayed by Ji Xing in front of her, she felt that it might not be difficult for Ji Xing. And if he can successfully hide under the nose as he planned, Cocoa Island... maybe within half a year, no one will be able to see it before my mother's next life span.
And in half a year, there are many opportunities, especially with the ability to change appearance, which is not brought by the devil fruit.
"It's not unfair for me to get along well with your brothers and sisters. I volunteered. Because in this way, when I disappear inexplicably, it will be difficult for anyone to think that I left on my own."
Jixing said: "Holo Jixing being kidnapped and Holo Jixing running away from marriage have different meanings for the Big Mom Pirates. I don't know these abilities of mine, and there are probably only a few people who will doubt me, mainly Katakuri.
But for the sake of the overall situation, they will not make it public. Katakuri will also take the initiative to guide my mother's attention and hatred to be diverted, pushing it to a certain pirate or some hostile person, so as to avoid disaster here and get back the lost face."
Mukulu was silent, indeed... it would be like this.
Compared to anger at Jixing, fear of mother will definitely prevail.
Is that so? Very thoughtful, not only considering his own retreat, but also everyone else. Although there is still the risk of exposure, what is risk-free?
"Then you... before..."
"Before, it was also acting." Ji Xing smiled and said, "It's just to let you know that I will not be kidnapped when I disappear. Don't worry. I estimate that you will have two reactions.
One is to be very angry, but under Katakuri's persuasion, I didn't say anything, and silently remembered my grudge, and stabbed me twice when we meet again in the future.
The other is to acquiesce and fulfill me who doesn't want to be a pirate. Then when I have the ability, it will be easier to say when we meet again..."
Miukulu blinked.
Ji Xing spread his hands: "This is all my plan, but I really didn't expect... Why? In fact, we have only had contact three times, from the day you brought me back with the ship, to the day I chose you and gave me walnuts, and today, why did you take the initiative to help me leave?"
Miao Kulu pursed her lips and said calmly: "I... I just don't want my future husband... to be happy on the surface, but actually sad every day in his heart... to make everyone unhappy."
"Is that so?" Ji Xing asked.
"Yeah!" Miao Kulu nodded in confirmation: "Also, I know how uncomfortable it is to have to pretend all your feelings in front of your mother, and I think you need to pretend to all of us, which will be a hundred times more painful than us..."
"So kind." Ji Xing praised.
"In fact... Sister Lola is the object of secret envy of many of us. Mom really puts a lot of pressure on us, but we don't have that kind of courage." Miao Kulu continued.
"Is that so." Ji Xing suddenly realized.
Miao Kulu was silent for a few seconds, gritted her teeth and said: "But now I kind of... want to draw a knife and chop you!"
