Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 263 Ice Sea Road, Pirate Flag Crisis 1
The next day, morning.It was bright and cold.No snow, cold, but stable and slightly warmer than yesterday.The sun was shining brightly, shining a little bit of light on the icebergs and icicles.

The Qianyang, which entered a large ice mound, slowly moved along the river. Icebergs stood on both sides of the winding river, separated from each other one by one, but without leaving any gaps as if they were connected. , a little deliberately led the Qianyang to the deepest point.

Except for Luffy and Chopper who were still on the ship behind, the other members stayed at the bow, Sanji was in charge of driving the ship, and Nami was in charge of watching the direction of progress.Others stand casually.

Anke stood there with her arms folded, her expression frightened, "Hmph, it's good to be in a good mood~~ I can stand up now~~"

"Hehe, it seems that something good happened to you yesterday, Miss Encore~~", Robin smiled, and didn't ask what she did when she ran to that boat yesterday, but she was sure that the little boy named Jiro would definitely Scared.

"Of course~~"

Frankie looked at Encore, who was unable to move yesterday but was able to stand there, and asked suspiciously: "By the way, how could your legs heal so fast? Take a few steps and see?"

An Ke made a tic-tac-toe suddenly, and rolled her eyes angrily: "Joke, if she can still walk, will she stand here obediently?" !

Seeing the girl's eerie different pupils, Frankie shrank suddenly, looked at the big sun above him strangely, and expressed that he didn't know why he suddenly felt so cold.In order to keep out the cold, he put on a padded jacket, although he still only has a pair of black pants on his lower body...

Usopp also saw Anke's uneasy face, and after shaking, he consciously stayed away from the danger zone.He doesn't want to be implicated by that pervert~
"Strange, I always feel a lot colder. Is it because I didn't wear pants..." After rubbing his huge hands, Frankie, who was still wondering about this, decided to throw it behind his head and continue the previous conversation. Topic, "Would you like to take two steps and try?"

An Ke, who was a little agitated, snorted coldly, let go of his arms, then raised his legs, and then... of course, the whole person fell forward.

"Hey, be careful!" Sauron strode forward to pick her up and hug her who was about to fall down, and then stood back to her original position.Then he took a strange look at the pink and tender bun in his arms (Robin replaced it), weighed it strangely, and said strangely, "Why does it feel so light?"

"Could it be a hallucination?" Robin rested his chin and looked at the gloomy Anke, and suddenly remembered a similar scene that seemed to have happened yesterday, "Speaking of which, it seems that Miss Anke also fell when she was practicing walking tomorrow, but I went to When I helped her, she had already used illusion to leave."

"Illusion?" Sauron, who thought it made sense, nodded, and then did something that he almost regretted for the rest of his life.

He stretched out his hand to grab the girl's back collar and changed it into a hug, and lifted her directly in front of him, then frowned and raised his chin to examine the child in front of him seriously.

"Well...the face is fine, the eyes are fine, and the number is also 'six'..." Sauron muttered to himself while researching, "But it seems that the number of the eyes was changed by illusion during a battle. Will it be the same next time..."

The scenery at the bow of the ship is very good. The strong swordsman is holding the petite deputy captain in one hand, with a serious expression on his face.And the pitifully carried co-captain was hanging there in the air, the expression on his face changed from stupefied to murderous, and then became abnormally sunny—the sun in the sky was even more dazzling.But the black flame behind him, which is so obvious that it can be seen by the naked eye, is rising up, and it has a tendency to intensify.

"Did I say something wrong?" Robin smiled embarrassedly, but didn't mean to stop, but kept backing away.

The smart Nami also kept moving away from the center of the earthquake, "But it doesn't matter if I made a mistake or not~ Anyway, the ending is already doomed~~"

"Even I feel a little pity for this idiot green alga..." Sanji, who was holding the steering wheel of the boat, shook his head artificially, and then had a look of watching the show.

"Oh? The atmosphere is super strange~~" Infected by the crowd, Frankie also stayed away from Sauron standing there and Encore who was held in his hand but had nothing to say until now.

Usopp...has already run away...

"What's wrong with you??" Sauron, who suddenly realized that he had been isolated, looked strangely at the people who were hiding away.

"Go all the way, Sauron-kun..." Nami sadly crossed him on her chest, her face full of mourning.

"I'm not dead yet!!!", Sauron roared, not knowing that the person he was holding in his hand was today's god of death.

"But it's coming soon, poor green algae~~~", Sanji joined the mourning queue, but the ruffian smile on his face could only see the four characters of schadenfreude.

Even more inexplicable, Sauron's head was full of question marks, until the "kind" Robin pointed to the person in his hand, and "kindly" reminded, "The number in his eyes has changed, and it turns out that the current Miss Encore is not an illusion~ ~Suo, Long, Jun~~~~~~"

"Not an illusion?" After savoring these words, Sauron's face began to be covered with cold sweat, and his face became colorful, showing almost all the colors in the world.

"Suo, Long, brother, brother~~~", the girl's voice was as soft and waxy as ever, and it even had a sweet taste at this time. The tone was deliberately slowed down, but it sounded like gnashing of teeth.

Knowing that his fate would be very colorful, Sauron instantly petrified, his expression was stiff, but he twisted his rusted neck stiffly like a robot to make himself look at the person he was carrying in his hand.But when the line of sight came into contact with the face smiling like a flower, regret in capital letters appeared on the face,
What the hell did he do? ? ? ? ?
"Hehehehe~~~~", the girl just smiled, and didn't feel that it was hard to be caught now. The bright red left pupil seemed to be burning with flames, and even the black 'one' in her eyes was also red.

"If it's just an illusion, you shouldn't be afraid..." Sauron swallowed nervously, carefully and gently put the child in his hand on the ground, then slowly backed away, and then kicked off to start the first time in his life. Run away in embarrassment.

Anke just smiled and straightened his deformed collar, then waved his hand at the fleeing Sauron. The next moment, the green algae swordsman disappeared without a trace from the Qianyang. Leaving a scream before he disappeared:
"what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The curling reverberation reverberated among the icebergs, proving the evidence of the existence of a certain self-inflicted green algae.

After hearing that there was no sound at all, Anke calmly put down his hands covering his ears, straightened his cloak, used illusion to construct a snow leopard from under himself, and then sat on its back and slowly rose up.

Frankie retracted his jaw that was almost dislocated, looked at the snow leopard rising from the plank, and then looked at the Qianyang, which had long since lost the swordsman, and suddenly trembled inexplicably: It seems that he understands the comrades a little bit. The reason why you can't offend Encore...

"Poor Sauron-kun~~~", Nami wiped the corners of her eyes sympathetically, her face still full of acting sadness, "I hope there will be a whole body when I come back~~"

"Hehe," Robin just smiled, not having such hope.

"Although I feel a little sympathetic to that green algae, but the cutie is really cute, hehehe~~~~", Sanji's eyes flashed with heart, and pink bubbles were flying all over his body.

After seeing that Anke's face was not so dark, Franky asked curiously: "Speaking of which, where did he go?"

"Who knows, I just know that there will be a super~surprise waiting for him~~", the culprit just shrugged innocently, driving the leopard to face forward, with a mischievous and relieved smile on the corner of his lips.

"...", the speechless people could only tacitly light a thousand candles for the poor swordsman in their hearts to express their sympathy.

…………

"what!!!!"

The mournful screams of the swordsmen of the Straw Hat Pirates spread to the ship behind, and the people who were still drowsy on the ship immediately woke up. They all looked in the direction of the Qianyang, but they found that the Straw Hat Pirates did not There was no panic, and the Qianyang sailed forward smoothly.

"An illusion?" Statham stroked the yellow hair on his head suspiciously, yawned and continued to sit on the ground.

In the wounded man's room, Lu Fei, who was sleeping in a daze, also heard the scream, opened his eyes in a daze and scanned the dilapidated warehouses around him, then continued to hug the cold little whale in his arms, and smacked his lips. Close your eyes and continue to sleep.

It wasn't that he wasn't worried, the most important thing was that the resolute swordsman couldn't make a degrading scream even in the face of life and death.But now that he could hear his cry, it was certain that he had offended Encore again.

"Anyway, Encore is very gentle~ Then you don't have to worry about Sauron... ZZ..." The captain who was slowly falling asleep didn't worry about the swordsman's miserable screams at all, and went away with snot and bubbles sleep.And the poor green algae in the illusion is constantly repeating the infinite cycle of being thrown into the sea-being chased by animals-up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire-and then thrown into the sea again.

He didn't hear the screams from the outside world at all. The wounded on the bed was struggling in a nightmare. Half asleep and half awake, his face was covered in cold sweat and he stretched out his hand in pain, as if he wanted to grab someone, and his mouth was in pain. Whispering, "Picaro, wait..."

The outstretched hand was clenched into a fist, but he couldn't catch the person who was drifting away in the dream. He yelled "Bipicaro!" and sat up suddenly, but hit the lower body hard. Low boards.

After the sound of "bang", Pazel, who was completely awakened by the pain, frowned and covered his forehead, "It hurts..."

"Captain Pazzeloo! Captain Pazzeloo! Great, you're awake~" Jiro excitedly looked at the captain who had woken up with a lot of bandages on his body, and didn't know how to express his joy .

Chopper, who fell asleep on the side, wiped his eyes and sat up. Seeing that the wounded who woke up hadn't come to remember what to say, he was immediately picked up by Jiro and turned around for a few times before putting him down.

"Great, doctor!! Thank you~~~~", Ji Luo, who was smiling happily, looked gratefully at the little civet cat in front of him, "Doctor, you are such a famous doctor~~~"

"Famous doctor...", Chopper, who only had this sentence in his mind, immediately jumped out of Ji Luo's hands, and then danced and swayed left and right, smiling like a flower, only looking happy, It's a pity that what he said was still so inconsistent, "Hahaha, even if you say that, I won't be happy, you bastard~~"

Pazzelo, who seemed a bit puzzled, looked at the boy in confusion for a while before asking, "Giro, why am I here?"

"Don't you remember, Captain?" Although surprised by Pazzel's question, Jiro looked at him and explained carefully, "In the new world, we were attacked by very powerful guys. The ship was also on fire, buddy We all fell down too. You ordered us to escape, but in that situation, we couldn't escape at all. Later..."

Thinking of the sad memory, Ji Luo choked up, and tears began to appear in his eyes, "Later, the deputy captain, Mr. Picaro, ran to those people alone in order to let us leave. But, such a strong deputy captain, We didn't last a few seconds in front of them...but the deputy captain damaged their rudder in this short period of time, so that we had a chance to leave..."

Listening to their stories, Chopper suddenly remembered that the pirate group he was in had experienced almost the same thing.In order to protect the entire pirate group, the deputy captain decided to take the risk alone.They didn't know what happened to her after being separated, or what was done to her by those people. They only knew that before the curtain ended, she returned to the ship and to them.

Maybe again, it believed she would do the same thing.Because she is the vice-captain of this ship, and the captain is the core of leading the pirate group, she must have already known which is more important.So even if the price is her life, as long as it can be exchanged for the safety of the captain and the pirate group, she will stand in the front without any regrets.

What happened a few days ago will be engraved in his heart forever, and the similar experience of the other party aroused Chopper's empathy.It bowed its head in silence, and Jiro said something beside it, without falling a word in its ears.

Now there is only one sentence left in its mind, that is, 'It is the greatest luck for our pirate group to have her come back...'

Luffy, who was sleeping, no longer had a slight grunt. The lowered straw hat completely covered his eyes, and he could only see his lips pursed straight and his face stiff. , did not leave marks on the soft and fluffy pillow.

Since that incident, he has always had a feeling of worrying about gains and losses, always afraid that the same thing will happen again.So, basically, he sticks to his deputy captain all day long, and even if he separates occasionally, he will use the knowledge and arrogance he has basically mastered to perceive where she is.

I believe that the people on board also have the same idea, but they express it in different ways, but no matter what, there will be someone by her side, whether near or far, or bright or dark.

Yesterday was the first time he was so far away from her since that incident, and when he was in agitation, the girl suddenly appeared, with a lovely smiling face full of dazzling colors.

Although she was just an excuse to give him a pillow, Luffy knew that she had already known what he was thinking, after all...

Ever since he was a child, he has never been able to hide anything from her...

"I really want to see you, Enke...I really want to be sure that you will never leave me again..." Holding the round pillow tightly, Luffy curled up slightly.The uneasiness that was originally hidden in the deepest part was finally comforted by the people who came back, but now it is full of heart...
