One Piece Titan Awakening

Chapter 232 The Treasure of Old Thebes

I don't want this kind-hearted old man to die.

So, I have to stop others.

Maybe the baby thinks so in his little heart.

But what is the real situation, who knows?

Anyway, he did it.

Under the guidance of emotions, the magical power guides the meteorite from the sky, bombarding all the places and all the people on the ship except the old Thebes.

People were screaming and someone was trying to jump overboard.

But then came a mysterious force that made them stick tightly to the deck, unable to move.

Only old Thebes, who was in a coma, never knew what happened to the outside world. He didn't know that there would be a small, strange baby who would be angry because of his death and burst out with such terrible power.

A splintered wooden plank fluttered, carrying old Thebes in a coma.

It floated up and down slowly, and just landed on the sea not far from the baby.

Seeing this, the abnormally flushed face of the baby in the basket suddenly showed a smile and a trace of relaxation.

He smiled, very happy and bright.

The bombardment of the extraterrestrial meteorite continued, and soon, the entire ship sank in the sea.

On the calm sea, except for the floating broken boards, only old Thebes and the baby were left quietly, as if enjoying the quiet time.

The tired little baby fell asleep with a satisfied smile.

After an unknown amount of time, old Thebes finally woke up.

"This is... what's going on? Why didn't I die?"

Holding his drowsy head, old Thebes opened his eyes.

He propped himself up weakly, and as far as he could see, was a large piece of wreckage left over from the shattered and charred ships.

And his enemies have long since disappeared.

Are they all dead?

There is only this possibility.

After all, this scene seems to be after a terrorist attack, and it is unlikely that it looks like someone survived.

Well, the problem is coming.

Why was he the only old man who escaped unharmed?
And, who on earth saved his life and caused the ending of the scene before him?

"Giggle cluck..."

There was a burst of brisk but weak laughter.

It's him!

Old Thebes followed the prestige and saw a bright smile with shining eyes.

It was the baby, and he was fine!

Inexplicably, old Thebes felt that the whole world was refreshed, full of hope and sunshine.

"Little guy, it's great that you have no facts."

Old Thebes reached out to touch the baby.

The baby didn't show any emotion of fear. Instead, he stretched out his delicate little hand and hugged the big hand of old Thebes at once.

"Giggle cluck..."

Smile happily.

Old Thebes' eyes lit up, and he murmured, "Perhaps, this is the salvation God gave me."

"The appearance of this child is a revelation to me."

Looking at the little guy who was not shy at all, the old Thebes began to tease his little face, and the other party played with his big hand very cooperatively, with a bright and sunny smile on his face.

"Little guy, it seems that you are also alone. In this case, it's better to let the old man take care of you."

"From now on, how about letting the two of us depend on each other?"

Old Thebes said to himself with a smile.

He didn't know if this little guy could understand.

However, the other party responded with an even louder laugh.

"Giggle cluck..."

Crisp and full of joy.

"You promised!"

Old Thebes seemed to understand the baby's answer!
He suddenly became excited.

"Since you have no objection, then I have to give you a name."

said old Thebes joyfully.

Before today, he was still a happy family.

But today, his family was ruined.

It was another day, and he once again encountered a little life that seemed to have an inexplicable connection with him.

"Today is truly an unforgettable day."

"Since you like to smile so much, and you smile so beautifully, then I will tell you to smile from now on!"

"Smile, smile, I hope you will be happy forever in the future!"

Old Thebes smiled, and excitedly repeated the name he had just given him.

"Giggle cluck..."

It seems that he also likes this name very much, and the smile on Yixiao's little face is even brighter.

wow wow~
A stream of clear water fell from his crotch pants and landed on old Thebes' beard.

"Giggle cluck..."

"You little brat, you're actually peeing right now."

Old Thebes feigned anger, but smiled without any tension.

"Hahahahaha..."

Old Thebes laughed loudly, raised his head high and smiled, a layer of divine light seemed to appear on his face.

"I don't know who saved me, but I know that from now on, Yixiao, you will be a unique little treasure of my old Thebes that no one can mess with."

"Starting today, I will draw a clear line from the past. I will be an ordinary person, an ordinary old man who only wants his grandson to be safe and happy."

Old Thebes had a sudden epiphany, and he spoke freely.

Yixiao couldn't speak yet, so he could only respond to him with his sparkling eyes and cheerful laughter!
"Giggle cluck..."

But only these are enough!

"Great, Yixiao, do you think so too!"

A satisfied smile appeared on the face of old Thebes.

"Gululu" there was a sound of belly groaning, and the old Thebes found out in embarrassment that he was actually hungry.

"Hey, I don't know if you're hungry or not, but we can't find something to eat in our current state, so we should hurry back to the shore."

Old Thebes said, looking for a suitable tool.

"Ah ah ah..."

With a smile, there was a sudden movement here, he pointed at the basket he was in before, and yelled.

"Do you want that basket, or is there something in it?"

Old Thebes picked up the basket doubtfully, and handed it to an eager smile.

Afterwards, Yixiao stretched out her little hand and groped around in the basket for a while.

"Giggle..."

Soon, he found something with a smile, and tried to hand it to old Thebes with his little hand.

"Xiao Yixiao, do you have any treasures for me?"

old Thebes joked.

But with the opening of Yixiao's little hand, his smile disappeared suddenly, and even began to tremble unconsciously.

Because what is in Yixiao's hand is the core of a fruit.

On the core of the fruit that had been gnawed until there was not much flesh left, old Thebes could clearly see that there was a spiral pattern on the remaining peel that he was all too familiar with.

"So...you saved me?"

The old Thebes said tremblingly, looking at the core of this devil fruit, and then looking at the pale face that was obviously consumed by a smile, he understood everything that happened before.

sigh~
As if to verify the authenticity of the old Thebes' guess, a powerful force flashed across Xiao Yixiao's body, which was clearly perceived by the old Thebes.

"This is... so powerful and terrifying... born with knowledge and knowledge!"

Old Thebes's eyes were full of shock, looking at the innocent little baby with a bright smile on his face.

All of a sudden, he seemed to be unable to see him clearly!
but……

"No matter what, you are my old Thebes family, no matter how many secrets you have, it will not change."

"What's more, you saved my life."

Old Thebes understood everything at once, and he hugged and smiled tightly, not wanting to separate.

"Ah ah ah..."

With a smile, he handed the fruit core to old Thebes, his face full of joy like offering a treasure.

Seeing Xiao Yixiao secretly swallowing, old Thebes suddenly understood that maybe this devil fruit was the only source of food for this little guy who had been wandering in the sea for so long.

Although its taste is hard to describe, but to Yixiao, this devil fruit core may be the most precious thing in this world.

And now, he actually planned to share this thing with himself.

This means that in his eyes, he is more precious than this fruit core.

Unknowingly, tears of emotion and sadness flowed from the eyes of old Thebes.

"Eat, eat, we all eat."

Trembling, old Thebes bit off more than half of the core.

A happy and satisfied smile appeared on his smiling face.

"Delicious, so delicious!"

Weeping, said with a smile.

The taste of the pips in his mouth was disgusting, but to old Thebes it was the sweetest treasure in the world.

Just like, a little smile.
