One Piece: I am the Master of Black Magic

Chapter 487 Behind the Nightmare

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Annie didn't speak again.

Luffy outside the door heard the conversation between the two clearly.Seeing that Annie didn't speak, he finally couldn't help but rushed into the room.

"Shanks!"

"The fourth stone tablet is at your place!"

"You have to wait for me! I will definitely go to see you and defeat you! Become the Pirate King!"

The sudden sound made everyone in the red-haired pirate group stunned for a moment.

Then, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

"Luffy!"

"You brat! You are as energetic as ever!"

"It's been so many years! Your boy has grown into an upright man!"

"Luffy! You did a great job!"

"I never expected that that reckless, naive and annoying little fool! He has grown into a Yonko who is on par with the boss!"

"Luffy, long time no see!"

"Come to us! We haven't had a party together for many years!"

Everyone on the deck rushed to the phone bug, chattering and making a lot of noise.

Shanks' figure was instantly submerged in the crowd.

"Everyone... long time... no see!"

At this moment, Luffy reacted a bit unnaturally.

But when he heard that everyone's tone on the other end of the phone was still familiar, his mood quickly returned to normal.

Sure enough, the red-haired pirates are still the same red-haired pirates.

"Everyone! I'm coming!"

"You all just wait, I will come to see you soon!"

"Shanks! What I said back then! It will definitely come true!"

Beckman pulled his captain out of the crowd and raised his eyebrows at him rather helplessly.

"Cough cough~"

Shanks cleared his throat and suppressed everyone's voices.

"Luffy."

"Do not worry."

"People who are on the same page will always meet on this ocean."

"I believe the time for us to meet is not far away."

"If you want what I have in my hand, just come and get it! I'll be waiting for you in front."

"Ok!"

Luffy held up the microphone, his immature face full of determination and confidence.

The phone was hung up with a bang, and Jesus Bu, who was hesitating and hesitant next to him, had a stiff expression before he could speak.

"Boss!"

"Why did you just hang up?"

"what?"

Shanks looked puzzled.

"It's hanging on the opposite side!"

"What? Do you also want to catch up with Luffy?"

"Idiot boss!"

Lucky laughed at the two of them wildly.

"Jesus Bu wants to talk to his son!"

"But I guess Annie wouldn't want to hear his voice, so she picked up the phone so quickly! Hahahahaha~"

Shanks realized it later.

"Ah, how about I call back again?"

"That's it."

Jesus Bu looked slightly gloomy.

"Actually, I myself am not ready yet."

Seeing that he seemed really hurt, everyone changed the topic because they didn't want to stab his wound.

"Boss, I'm in a good mood today! Let's have a party!"

"Yes, boss, this is the first time I've contacted Luffy in so many years! It's worth celebrating!"

"Banquet! Banquet! Banquet!"

Everyone was in high spirits. Shanks ignored the cold look from the housekeeper's mother next to him and raised his arms and shouted: "Okay! Let's have a banquet!"

"Long live the boss!!!"

At the dinner table in the morning, it was rare to see everyone in a state of low spirits.

Everyone's eyes were green and black, their expressions were haggard, and they seemed to have no interest in the tempting food.

The moment Annie stepped into the restaurant, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.Everyone looked at her.

Annie's steps froze in place.

"what happened?"

When she asked, everyone looked away as if they were covering up.

"Ah~haha~Annie, good morning~"

"Good morning~"

"Early, early, early~"

Annie rolled her eyes and took a seat at the table.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"what?"

"what?"

"Nothing at all?"

"what are you saying?"

"You guys have been looking at me strangely lately."

Annie took a sip of milk.

"I don't like using Legilimency on people close to me, so you'd better explain it yourself."

Luffy, who was blinking like a dog, was about to speak when Usopp next to him quickly blocked his mouth with a large portion of meat.

"Uuuuu~"

"We've been having nightmares every day lately."

Robin put down the knife and fork in his hand and spoke softly.

"Robin!!!"

Everyone stopped drinking in unison.

"and then?"

Annie asked.

"In a dream..."

"Robin!"

Nami kept giving her winks.

"I think the probability of everyone having the same dream at the same time is basically zero."

"So there must be something wrong behind this."

"And it's specifically for Anne."

"In this case, wouldn't it be better to speak out and let everyone work together to find a solution?"

After Robin finished speaking lightly, everyone fell silent again.

Annie held her chin up and looked at the people with different expressions. She raised her fingers and freed Luffy from Usopp's grip.

Luffy, who broke free from the restraints, swallowed the food in his mouth and said loudly: "Annie killed me several times in my dream last night! It's more than enough!"

His tone was very aggrieved, and he curled his lips in dissatisfaction after speaking.

It made Anne think that she had actually killed him several times last night.

"So you all dreamed about this?"

Everyone nodded slowly.

"In my dream, I have experienced more than a dozen different ways to die, and my memory is still fresh."

Robin chuckled, but seemed not to care much about this dream.

Anne lowered her eyes and thought deeply, tapping her index finger on the wall of the cup, making a "ding-ding-ding" sound.

"Although I know it is a false dream, I have to admit that the fear of death in the dream is too real."

"It also causes me to involuntarily recall those terrible things when I wake up and face you."

"Even when facing you, ill will arise in my heart for no reason."

"That kind of paranoia, sensitivity, and bad speculation that we can't stop at all.

"That's right."

Nami also responded quietly.

"We didn't mean to hide it from you, we just didn't know how to tell you."

"Ah~ It reminds me again of the suffocating feeling I felt when I died many years ago~ Yohohoho~"

"As much as I hate to admit it, Annie in the dream is really scary."

Chopper also fiddled with the plate in front of him uneasily.

"I rarely feel scared."

"The kind of power in dreams is not like what ordinary people can have."

"instead..."

"On the contrary, it feels very similar to Annie's power."

Mellie added.

As a soul product born from Anne's magic power, he is extremely familiar with Anne's power.

"Huh? Fear?"

Luffy was puzzled.

"I'm just angry!"

"Annie in the dream actually killed me! She didn't listen no matter what I called her! I'm going to be so angry!"

"I also feel that this matter is more like a premeditated target."

"So the mastermind behind this, what is his purpose?"

"Split."

Sanji came to the conclusion first.

"Or, isolation, alienation, betrayal, betrayal and alienation."

"No matter what his purpose is, it should all be aimed at Anne."

Annie looked at Zoro, who had been silent.

"So the day you woke up, you also dreamed of the same scene?"

"Feel sorry."

He took Anne's hand.

"I can't control that emotion..."

Annie shook her head.

"It's not your fault."

Scanning the faces of her friends with different expressions, she laughed softly, her eyes brimming with water.

"Sounds very interesting."
