The lingering glow of the sunset drifted across the mountaintop, like a smooth mirror reflecting layer upon layer of crimson clouds in its fading light.
Luo Han sat at the edge, watching the sun slowly sink beneath the sea as night approached.
"You're here, Sister Shaku!"
"Yeah."
Sister Shaku appeared behind Luo Han, then came over and sat beside him. She took out two wineglasses and filled them with red wine.
Luo Han stared blankly. He suddenly remembered hearing in his previous life that red wine was supposed to be poured to a certain level, otherwise people would think you were uncultured. But the World of Pirates did not seem to care much about such things. Or perhaps Sister Shaku did not know either.
"So, you already know." Sister Shaku handed Luo Han a glass of red wine, gazing out at the sea as she sighed softly.
Luo Han accepted it, took a large gulp, then let out a breath before suddenly saying seriously, "I understand your dream, Sister Shaku. Really! If not for the cruelty of this world forcing us, who would want to turn themselves invincible?"
"Look at me. My dream was actually to become an interior designer. But this world forced me to awaken Conqueror's Haki, forced me to deeply develop my Devil Fruit abilities, forced me to keep getting stronger."
"And now, there isn't even anyone who can break through my defenses. This kind of life has been tormenting me all along. Sigh! It's all for the sake of survival! In truth, I still want to be an interior designer with principles. I never wanted to be a pirate either."
"When Sister Shaku opens her bar in the future, I can help you design it. I guarantee you'll be satisfied. And if you aren't, that's fine
